MARIETTA, Ga. – A judge has ruled that evidence the defense sought to bar in the trial of a man charged in the hot car death of his 22-month-old son will be allowed.

Ross Harris was arrested after his son, Cooper, was found dead in the back seat of a hot car in June of 2014. He faces multiple charges including: malice murder, felony murder and cruelty to children. His trial is set to begin in April.

In motions hearings last month, the defense team argued that several pieces of "bad character" evidence, including information on Harris’ alleged infidelity and internet searches on life without children, shouldn’t be allowed at trial.
